The AIER, noting the dearth of attempts to measure the costs associated with locking down a population, has published its own summary of the many different unwanted outcomes. Whilst the many and varied effects are difficult to reduce to a single measure, the overall list makes for salutary reading.

Based on figures mainly for the United States, they include reports from the UK and elsewhere where available.

Monday's UK Column News report provides perhaps an unwelcome glimpse of where we are headed in the UK. It is admirably summed up by David Scott part-way through and in my opinion is essential viewing, touching as it does on so many of the major topics of the day:

Towards the end they disclose that up to 14 thousand may be working for the Cabinet Office - more than enough to give a mere 650 MPs the run-around I would think.

To adapt a quote from Shelley's "Ozymandias": "Look on my works, ye Mighty People, and despair!"

Apparently the Liverpool testing programme is less than fully formed - this article in the BMJ explores the quick-turn-around test currently piloted in Liverpool and already being rolled out elsewhere in what to some might seem like unthinking haste, given that the pilot scheme has not yet been evaluated.

"This is a screening programme, not opportunistic case finding: people are invited to have a test they would not otherwise have had, or asked for. If judged against the criteria drawn up by the UK’s National Screening Committee for appraisal of a programme’s viability, effectiveness, and appropriateness, it does not do well and has been already roundly criticised"

"The test’s instructions for use state that it should not be used on asymptomatic people . . . . It suggests the test misses between one in two and one in four cases. The false positive rate of 0.6% means that at the current

Citizen X does us all a service with this timely soliloquy on the subject of freedom.

In these times when the Covid threat appears to many to be wildly exaggerated in order to frighten us into obedience to instructions which, this time last year, would have been considered ridiculous, and when the Metropolitan Police have recently been filmed using batons against peaceful protesters, we would do well to mark what he says.

Andy Thomas is a long-time speaker, lecturer, researcher - and organiser of the Glastonbury Symposium (no topic off-limits?), which unhappily had to be brutally restructured this year from the usual full three day event down to a one day Zoom call.

This video is taken from his presentation on that zoom call, back at the end of July, and it is interesting to consider where we were then against where we are now, in November.

Whatever your take on this year's happenings, Andy is noted for his impartiality, objectivity, and meticulous search for and analysis of the evidence. I'm sure you will find much to contemplate here:

Richard LittleJohn in the Daily Mail tells it as he sees it, no hold barred.

"You can sleep with your wife but can't play tennis with her".

The word "lies" features.

"It’s a fact, not a ‘projection’, that 99.5 per cent of people who contract coronavirus recover from it. Many don’t even display symptoms." He doesn't mention where he gets that "fact" from but he's probably in the right ball-park.

Good to see more and more articles in the mainstream that challenge the absurdities of lockdown.

Dr Charlie Ward may not be known to many but his approach to life and the US Election is to say the least unconventional.

But is he on the right track? He certainly seems to be very well informed.

We will very soon find out, but my money is on Dr Charlie for giving us the real news.

The Daily Mail reveals what is really going on in "our" NHS. A whistle-blower has publicly resigned after revealing that "she 'had no work for three weeks' at the height of the pandemic.

Somehow I don't believe that she will be the last whistle-blower to come forward. Will the whole house of cards come crashing down shortly? Probably not, but the cracks are beginning to show.

Meanwhile the Daily Telegraph takes apart the Covid projections that purported to show that the NHS was on course to be overwhelmed unless Boris took drastic lock-down action. If the government can't ensure that it's basic evidence is reasonably bullet-proof than what hope for

On this 5th day of November 2020 we mark the fact that Parliament for a second time simply nodded away our freedoms, with no real attempt to question the validity of the undoubtedly controversial "science" that our Government (Boris and Matt) is relying on, or to ensure that the collateral damage that will inevitably ensue has been properly assessed against the alleged risks to health and to the NHS.

Parliament now cannot escape the charge that it is either complicit or asleep on the job.

Brexit-Watch weigh in on Covid? What is going on?

"What has gone terribly wrong is the Government and its associated apparatus of the state does not trust us. In effect they say we are not intelligent, or responsible enough to make our own choices based on widely available evidence. The man from the ministry knows best and you, little person, aren’t competent to make up your own mind. That is the road to serfdom."

This has been coming a long time. The choice we are offered is between freedom and "safety". in 1949 we chose freedom, but who will lead us to freedom today?

Apparently not the Danes, who are reportedly

These are UK Column podcasts which explore the UK Constitution, where it came from, where it may be going, with Alex Thompson and others.

Episode 1

"By popular request, and to meet the need of the times, Alex Thomson is joined by Mike Robinson and David Scott to brief dissidents on the Constitution. The podcast will be of interest to overseas listeners too but primarily explores the English and Scots Constitutions, the common law, and the British constitutional legacy"

Now that Boris has made the fatal announcement (before consulting Parliament), there will be no going back. Indeed, already certain sources are puffing the idea that the lockdown will not end in December . . .

So I have done my own research into the latest figures for Wk 43, to see if anything has changed since week 42.

The Public Health England week 44 (up to week 43) (download here) “flu-like” report shows Covid positive tests ever-rising – so maybe we have it (or maybe we don’t - the test isn't definitive and is known to give false positive results anyway), but if we aren’t getting sick then who cares? As usual these meaningless numbers are analysed every which way, but can’t tell us who is sick
